One of my goals is to march with a drum core (hopefully The Canton Bluecoats, The Cadets, The Phantom Regiment, or Carolina Crown Drum and Bugle Corps) for one or multiple summers if I can pull it off. I really enjoy being around such creative and hardworking people. There is just a certain type of positivity and family aspect in band no matter where you go and I think that’s so important.

And, just like a real family we fight, and yell, and get extremely irritated with each other but at the end of the day we are able to create something so special and magical that those feeling can’t do anything but

    Marching band; copious amounts of people scoff at the sound of those words. I often hear students commenting on how easy marching band is, how we don’t train like the football players do. At Anderson High School, that’s not the case, the marching band trains for just as long. As a band of over 125 individuals, it takes determination, pride, and confidence to achieve the goals we have set forth to accomplish. As a leader of the saxophone section, I know what it’s like to face failure, to overcome and turn it into success and to march on with confidence.

    Throughout my childhood and adolescent years, I always had a dream of joining the military. Though it was a choice, I still did not have any inside information of what it would be like, and the requirements and specifics of the Army. It wasn't until 2005 when I decided to join the United States Army that all my concerns and questions were answered by a recruit; and I was guided through the whole process to enter and prep for the Army. If it was not for the confidences and motivation of my recruiter back in 2005, I might have not made my leap and probably would not be in this uniform today.
